Fragments of Freedom is the third studio album by English electronic music group Morcheeba, which was released in 2000. It was one of their most successful albums in terms of chart sales. Special versions of the CD contained a short CD-ROM video of the 'Making of Fragments of Freedom' and also music videos.

Reception

Template:Music ratings NME declared Fragments to be "an enduring monument to quiet goodness",[1] while The A.V. Club considered it to have "fine and adventurous" songs that "are more than worthy of the band's legacy", but noted that the wide variety of styles between individual tracks means that it "never quite builds up artistic momentum."[2]

Pitchfork, however, criticised the album's contents as "no less flat, smooth, or mass-produced than its jewel case", stating that there was "skill and craft" but no "personality or creativity", and that the backup singers make it more difficult to enjoy Skye Edwards' voice;[3] similarly, Robert Christgau rated the album a "dud" It was ahead of the Nu Disco curve and 80's revival so was under appreciated in Paul's eye's.[4]
